Introduction

In this updated video for Control Net, we will explore the new style model that allows us to easily transfer the style of an image to another one. We will learn how to update the Control Net extension and install the T2i Adapter Style model. Additionally, we will go through the process of generating style-transferred images, utilizing the multi-controlling feature, and enhancing the final result. Let's dive in!

Updating the Control Net Extension

To begin, it's crucial to ensure that the Control Net extension is up to date. By clicking on "Check for updates" in the extension manager, you can quickly verify if any updates are available. After confirming an update, simply click on "Apply" and restart the user interface (UI).

In case you encounter an error and cannot update the extension through the web UI, you can manually update it. Navigate to the Extensions folder, search for the Control Net extension, and open the folder URL. Type "CMD" and hit enter. Then enter "get pull" and press enter again. This will automatically update the Control Net extension to its latest version.

Installing the T2i Adapter Style Model

To utilize the new style model, we need to install the T2i Adapter Style model. First, visit the Control Net website and navigate to the models section. Locate the T2i Adapter Style model and click on the download link. Once downloaded, copy the file (Ctrl+X) and navigate to the Stable Diffusion Web UI folder. Open the Extensions folder and then the Web UI Control Net Models folder. Paste the copied file in this directory, and we are now ready to use the model.

Generating a Style-Transferred Image

Now, let's generate a brand new image and apply the style transfer. Start by selecting or creating an image as the base. Once chosen, open the Control Net extension. Enable the extension and choose the Clip Vision Preprocessor and the T2i Adapter Style model. Click on "Generate," and you should see the style-transferred image.

It's important to note that the initial image might not be visible right away. In such cases, the multi-controlling feature needs to be used to merge the generated image with the original one. This brings us to the next step.

Utilizing the Multi-Controlling Feature

To merge the style-transferred image with the original one, we need to use the multi-controlling feature. Upload the previously generated image and enable the Control Net extension again. This time, choose the Depth Preprocessor and the Depth Model. Adjust the weight to determine the strength of the effect and click on "Generate." Now, we have an image that combines the original image and the Stylized output.

For a stronger effect, decrease the weight value, such as to 0.3 for the base image, and generate the image again. This can create a more pronounced style transfer result, which can be visually stunning.

Enhancing the Style-Transferred Image

To have more control over the final result, it is recommended to use the multi-controlling feature inside the Image-to-Image tab. Within this tab, you can manipulate various settings to fine-tune and enhance the style-transferred image.

For instance, increasing the technology shrink setting to 1 can lead to more detailed and refined results. Additionally, enable the Control Net extension, choose the Depth Preprocessor, and the Depth Model. Adjust the weight value according to your preference, such as decreasing it to 0.3. Then, select the same image as the base and choose the Screen Vision and Style Model. Click on "Generate," and observe the transformed image.

Exploring the Image-to-Image Tab

By using the Image-to-Image tab, you can transfer style from any picture of your choice. Experiment with different preprocessor and model combinations to achieve unique effects. For instance, instead of using the Depth Model, opt for the Kenny Preprocessor and the Candy Model. Choose a different style image, and upon generating, you will obtain a super stylized image inspired by the colors and style of your chosen image.

Feel free to combine different styles to create visually captivating and distinctive images. The possibilities are endless!
